With the HD800s -- Sophia 274b Mesh + 6EW7 (though I've found the fat Sylvania 6FD7s to be quite enjoyable using low impedance jack. Too much floor noise when using with high jack). With LCD2s -- 274b + 6FD7.    I have been waiting around to pull the trigger on 596s to really mesh with the...

After having a few months to enjoy my current setup (Bifrost > WA6-SE > HD800/LCD2.2), I'm having an internal struggle deciding if I want to sell the LCDs and reallocate that money towards a superior source and a more synergistic amp choice (WA2 most likely) for the HD800s. They get the majority...

You will not need to buy another set of headphones for gaming. When people talk about "gaming headphones", I associate that with a wide soundstage, good imaging, and comfort -- all attributes associated with HD800s. I use them for gaming all the time. The poor sound quality in games argument...

Had a few questions since this will be my first meet.   I had been going back and forth as to whether I wanted to bring my own gear for the first meet. My primary interest is to listen to as much as I can. However I don't want to take away anyone else's chance to listen to my setup, especially...

Worth the price of admission alone for me.

Looking forward to first meet here. Up to this point my hobby has been limited to my own gear. I'd love to get a chance to listen to the HD800s paired with some of its common high-end amp pairings -- like the GS-X mk2, Liquid Glass, and DNA Stratus. Would also love to audition electrostatic rigs.

Been meaning to get around to this, but just wanted to give a shout out to Nice Cans. I recently purchased my LCD-2s from Patrick and the whole experience was fantastic. I'm glad Austin has such a great resource for auditioning headphones. If you're in the market for new headphones, I highly...

Glad to see high praise for the Black Dragon cable. I actually have one shipping to me from a member here. Thought it would be a good investment. Going to be my LAST UPGRADE (caps for emphasis to myself) for a while. I binged crazy hard in a week's time. Never again.... (my wallet hopes)

Received my Sophia Princess 274b Mesh Plate today. Put it straight into the WA6-SE with RCA 6EW7 and HD800s -- and while I noticed an improvement in soundstage, it was perhaps a tad bit too much in the upper range for my tastes. Swapped out the 6EW7s with RCA 6DE7s and instantly noticed an...

My WA6-SE came in yesterday. It has definitely met my expectations in driving the HD800s I recently acquired. I have never owned a tube amp before, so I was quite curious as to whether I'd be able to discern these differences amongst tubes that I read about so frequently on these forums. I've...

Just received my 800s this week from Amazon (SN #24***) and my outer box looks different than those pictures as well. Does the box have the Sennheiser authenticity security label on the bottom to verify?

  Indeed it is a great amp. It certainly serves the purpose of clearly presenting the music and acting as gain on a wire. I expect the Woo to smooth out things more than change the already incredible sound of the 800s. 

Just received the first two of three new toys -- the HD800s and Bifrost.    The WA6-SE comes in Friday. I knew I couldn't judge the HD800s fully until I got the Woo, but there's no way I wasn't going to plug it into my O2 amp and try. At first it was a bit of shock to my ears -- I wasn't sure...

January is way better for me than March --- so I'm in.

Just pulled the trigger on my new rig. Been researching for about two-three months and today was the day I decided to settle down and start listening to music. Picked up a WA6-SE used. Got it arriving this week along with a new Bifrost and HD800s. Upgrading from O2/ODAC and HD600s. The wait is...
